On May 14, 1996 (exactly 24 years ago), Def Leppard released their sixth studio album titled Slang. Honestly, I was terrified of how I'd feel about this album because I've heard mixed reviews on it. Def Leppard is known for their big production, catchy melodies, and tight harmonies, but for Slang, the band decided to try something... Continue Reading →
Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Appetite For Destruction’ Album Review
Guns N' Roses set the bar high for heavy metal following their debut album, Appetite For Destruction (1987). At first, the album received little attention. It wasn't until MTV agreed to play the music video for "Welcome To The Jungle" that the album finally gained some recognition. Within a year after its release, Appetite For Destruction became a commercial... Continue Reading →
My Top Six One Direction Songs
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a fan of One Direction because they were everywhere! You wouldn't believe how many times I've heard "What Makes You Beautiful" on the radio or how many posters I had of them on my wall. I even bought a letterman jacket because of them. When Zayn Malik... Continue Reading →

Let’s Get Rocked – ‘Adrenalize’ Turns 28!
On March 31, 1992, Def Leppard's Adrenalize album was released to the public, 28 years ago! After Hysteria (1987) came out, the band wanted to release the next album as soon as possible, or at least after the Hysteria tour ended. However, those plans got scrapped after guitarist Steve Clark's death on January 8th, 1991. Clark died due to... Continue Reading →

We have come to an end with the Richie Sambora album reviews with his third album, Aftermath of the Lowdown (2012). Let's hope he releases a new solo album soon because this album is incredible!

Richie Sambora’s ‘Undiscovered Soul’ Album Review
Stranger In This Town (1991) was the bomb!!! So it only made sense for me to check out Sambora's second studio album, Undiscovered Soul (1998). That particular album is very different from the first one because it incorporates more genres such as country, reggae, rock, pop, etc., but it still centers around blues-rock. Undiscovered Soul was more of a... Continue Reading →

Jonas Brothers’ ‘Happiness Begins’ Album Review
I grew up with the Jonas Brothers. I was singing their songs nonstop, I watched their TV show on Disney Channel, their posters were on my wall, and I fangirled so hard over Nick Jonas, haha! When I heard that they were getting back together in 2019, I was excited like every other fan of... Continue Reading →
Louis Tomlinson’s ‘Walls’ Album Review
I have been looking forward to Louis' first solo album since he released "Miss You" back in 2017. That song is not on the album; however, I was excited knowing that it was finally out and open to the public. After everything Louis has been through dealing with his mom's passing back in December 2016... Continue Reading →
